The Company
Vision and key objectives
Hofseth BioCare´s key objective is to provide high value added biomarine ingredients for human applications. Through innovative production technology and logistics, we preserve the quality of protein, calcium and oil extracted from fish. This technology is proprietary to our company.
Products that previously could only be used for animal feed can now be made suitable for human consumption and pharmaceuticals. We are thus contributing to efficient use of marine resources.
Background
Today, proteins from the sea are used to feed animals because the marine industry has not been able to produce a high quality protein that can be used directly by humans.
Already back in the 90s many companies tried to make better quality protein from fish using hydrolization, but none succeeded in achieving the quality needed. The right technology was not available, and the raw material control was insufficient.
This was the starting point for heavy investments in research and new technology by Green Earth Industries (“GEI”) in early 2000. The work done here is the ground block for our company.
